Question
(a) Find the partial sum \(s_{10}\) of the series \(\sum_{n-1}^{\infty} 1 / n^{4}\). Estimate the error in using \(s_{10}\) as an approximation to the sum of the series.
(b) Use (3) with \(n=10\) to give an improved estimate of the sum.
(c) Compare your estimate in part (b) with the exact value given in Exercise 37.
(d) Find a value of \(n\) so that \(s_{n}\) is within 0.00001 of the sum.
Solution
The first step in solving 11.3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Find the partial sum \(s_{10}\) of the series \(\sum_{n-1}^{\infty} 1 / n^{4}\). Estimate the error in using \(s_{10}\) as an approximation to the sum of the series.(b) Use (3) with \(n=10\) to give an improved estimate of the sum.(c) Compare your estimate in part (b) with the exact value given in Exercise 37.(d) Find a value of \(n\) so that \(s_{n}\) is within 0.00001 of the sum.
From the textbook chapter The Integral Test and Estimates of Sums you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
